Is there any way I could get a career joining both music and law together? :redface:

Another lawyer/musician!I turned my place at music college down to apply for law (and we all know what happened with that)!But was hoping to try and combine the two.Many music labels/orchestra's have legal teams so I think it is possible to combine the two.

Got an offer for Russian and Politics at Bath.Really pleased as think It'll be a good ground for doing the CPE.Pretty sorry about the whole process though it really has been a nightmare.The LNAT was hardly taken into consideration and there was discrimination against people with less traditional subjects.Overall I think the alw admissions process has a massive amount to answer for.

Yay! Arts thread! I'm in a similar position to some of you- I couldn't decide between University and Music College. I had a Cambridge offer for English and a scholarship to the Royal Academy and Guildhall and I didn't know what to do cos I wanted them both! I phoned Cambridge and asked them to defer my entry, which they did. I'm going to do music this year and then decide at the end of it whether I want to take up my place at Cambridge......assuming I get my grades of course!

Wow... impressive. I very nearly did music at uni (to the extent of filling in the entire UCAS form based on music) but changed my mind at the last minute. Kind of wishing I hadn't now. Hmmm...

what did you end up doing and where?

I was in the same position but decided to opt for Law as there were some areas in music that I didn't particular like (harmony), i much prefer composing(20th C) and performance! But there you go! :smile:

I'm going to Durham uni to do English and German in October :biggrin:

. Hopefully going to get really involved in the music scene there though, I've heard their orchestras etc are of a really high standard which should be good. Still kind of regretting giving up music though... :confused:
